Back training

Has anyone seen Michael Collin’s interview on Bantams Player after training today? I have to say I do like the way he comes across.

 

Nope, but nor am I interested in how someone 'comes across'.

There are an infinite number of management styles, there isn't a 'right' one, and personal preference really needs to be overlooked when selecting someone for success.

That's the major worry with Rahic; he can't overlook his own personal prejudice. He has his plan, he thinks it might work, but the implementation is going to be crucial.

Anyway, time will tell - Collins is neither a success or failure at this point, he is the cleanest of clean slates - attempting to judge him is silly, even if it smacks of far too much, far too soon (ie, Hockaday).

Talking well is nothing given the duties he now has; man management, squad management, tactical understanding, decision-making, ability to react well under stress, the list is endless; that's why so very few make it as managers long-term.

The whole "oh, we chatted this weekend so I appointed him after failing to appoint anyone else" statement wasn't helpful from Rahic, and that's probably why he's expected to fail; but really, succeeding is so unlikely given that football management might be the most difficult job in the world, with extremely few exceptions.

 

That was a pretty comprehensive reply to a straightforward query Jon.

 

Must admit agree with everything as above...time will tell, has ER did say, talk the talk but can he walk the walk I waite with bated breath !

 

Is Jones injured yet - or has he managed to complete 1 training session?

 

Hahaha

I haven't BL but will check it out.

 

Haha, it certainly was, particularly as he didn't even see the interview!

 

Looks in good shape this year to be fair. Hopefully is Over his injuries and can be our “second striker”

 

Yeah I drive past some mornings, it does look good. Didn’t they rip it up and re do it?

 

Edin has taken something from Having Grayson here.The new surface for the training pitch. A full time analyst. And possibly a new fitness regime.

 

Haha...I struggle to drag myself to games never mind training

 

Hmmmmm, struggles to drag self to games and training. Has user name Bantam@{Lancs}.........


Are you Shay McCartan?

 

To be fair the main pitch near the roadside gets a full re-seed every year, or it has for the last 3/4 years, also got redone when it was flooded t'other year.

 

The training pitches are treated every year, Park, and have been for the last five or six years to my knowledge, at the cost of BCFC then maintained by Woodhouse Grove.

 

I thought it had been completely relaid this summer

 

No, heavy scarifying then top dressed. If you watch the process the top dress sinks through and grass re-appears within days.

 

I know this is off-topic but how is the VP field looking? Not seen anything recently. Wondering how it looks compared to last season at this time when there were, even then, clear areas for concern.
